Rachel Recchia’s “worst nightmare” came true on the Monday, August 8, episode of The Bachelorette after Logan PalmerHe told her he still had feelings to co-Bachelorette Gabby Windey — and he wanted to switch sides.
Logan, 26, who kissed both Gabby, 31, and Rachel, 26, during the first group date of the season, solidified his spot on “Team Rachel” when he accepted a rose from her at the second rose ceremony of the season. He admitted that he had been drinking during the August 1 episode. Jesse Palmer that he was more into Gabby, but he didn’t have a chance to tell Rachel and subsequently accepted another rose from the pilot. During Monday’s episode, however, he wasted no time telling Rachel how he felt.
“I feel like something’s kind of been holding me back a little bit, a feeling that I’ve kind of been anchored down by. You and I had a genuine connection when we first met as a group. Gabby also spoke to me. And me and Gabby also had a strong connection,” he told her. “And at the end of the night, I originally thought that I was going to receive a rose from Gabby. It’s been hard for me moving forward to kind of forget about that connection. And I felt like everyone on that date card was certain that you were someone they could be with at the conclusion of this. Well, I still had reservations and feelings for Gabby.”
Rachel questioned why he “accepted so many roses” from her, but Logan insisted that he was only recently “sure” about his feelings. The “rejection” prompted Rachel to cancel the day portion of her group date and left her spiraling about not being a good Bachelorette — again.

“My guys just keep getting the short end of the stick, constantly. I feel bad that they have to keep dealing with this week after week, but I’m not ready right now to just go on a group date and act like I don’t feel like a huge loser,” Rachel told the cameras through tears. “The worst part about Logan is the whole time he was just seeing how far he could get till he could switch to Gabby. ‘Logan, how many weeks were you gonna go before you did this — when you do apparently at that first group date? Why did you accept my rose?’ This is two weeks before hometowns, this is happening. I should have at least seven guys who want to be here for me and I don’t.”
As she got more emotional, she declared, “I’m literally just such a failure as a Bachelorette.”
